Pei Wanqing has been recuperating for two years and her health has improved.

He had not been close to his wife for a long time, and that day he was in the mood to stay in her bedchamber. Probably too much Meng Lang, the next day, Pei Wanqing fell ill again, suffered from heart disease, and became more and more gloomy and silent.

After giving birth, her heart disease did not improve, and she has been recuperating in a closed uterus.

Any man would be a little awkward when he encounters such a situation. What's more, he is the crown prince of the Great Chu Dynasty, and there are many young and delicate beauties around him.

Concubine Zheng, who gave birth to his eldest son and fourth son, is beautiful and soft, and she is the most popular with him.

After ascending the throne, Pei Wanqing was canonized as the queen. Concubine Zheng, who was most favored by him, was named Emperor Zheng's concubine and was in charge of palace affairs. Pei Wanqing is not jealous or indisputable, virtuous and generous, and has nothing to do with Emperor Zheng's concubine.

The harem was peaceful.

He was very satisfied, although he did not stay overnight in the Jiaofang Palace. However, he would come to Jiaofang Hall two or three times a month, giving Queen Pei the dignity she deserved.

All kinds of thoughts flashed in Emperor Xuanhe's heart.

Emperor Xuanhe said casually: "You are weak, you don't have to worry about the affairs in the palace, you just have to recuperate with peace of mind." ”

Empress Pei smiled and opened her mouth to praise Emperor Zheng's concubine: "Emperor Zheng's concubine has been in charge of palace affairs for many years, she is careful and thoughtful, and she has never made mistakes. Share worries for concubines. With her, the concubines can rest assured. ”

The wife is lenient and generous, and the concubine is favored but not spoiled, which can be called a wife and concubine and a harmonious wife. That's enough to make all men in the world proud of themselves.

Emperor Xuanhe was no exception.

Hearing Empress Pei's words, Emperor Xuanhe stretched his brows, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly, which showed the joy of the dragon's heart.

The second prince's eyes flashed, and he snorted coldly in his heart.

In his opinion, Queen Pei is too generous and humble. Even if he is recuperating all year round, he should not hand over all the palace affairs to Emperor Zheng's concubine.

There are many young and beautiful concubines in the palace, and it is not difficult to "promote" two or three to compete for favor with Emperor Zheng's concubines.

Over the years, Queen Pei has been recuperating in the palace and ignoring everything in the palace. It's just the reputation of the queen of the middle palace!

Emperor Zheng's concubine is the opposite. In charge of palace affairs, the saint is very strong. Emperor Xuanhe also stayed in the bedroom of Emperor Zheng's concubine for at least seven or eight days in a month.

Compared with Empress Pei, who is like an invisible person, Emperor Zheng's concubine is more like the lord of the six palaces.

The palace people stepped on the low and praised the high, and they did not dare to slack off the Jiaofang Palace and the princes and princesses who came out, and secretly surrendered to the mother and son of Emperor Zheng.

Thinking of the momentum of the eldest prince, who was four years older than him, the second prince felt like a boulder in his heart. It is natural to have resentment and dissatisfaction with Queen Pei.

……

After Emperor Xuanhe inquired a few words, he said no more.

Next, pass the meal and set the meal.

Eat without saying anything.

With Emperor Xuanhe here, the dinner table was exceptionally quiet.

The six princes have undergone an almost strict etiquette education since childhood, and the etiquette at the dinner table is also impeccable. It's just that his original joy and joy have quietly dissipated.

Instead, there was a little bit of depression.

In fact, he just wanted to be alone with his mother.

After lunch, the second prince and the sixth prince, Princess Shouning, retired together. Emperor Xuanhe was not in a hurry to leave, and sat in Empress Pei's bedroom for a while.

Empress Pei personally served a cup of tea to Emperor Xuanhe.

Emperor Xuanhe tasted tea, and Empress Pei sat quietly on the side to accompany her. The atmosphere was a little dreary.

Emperor Xuanhe put down the teacup, looked at Empress Pei, who had soft eyebrows and eyes, and suddenly said: "Queen, I remember that when you married me, you were a delicate and clear person, and she was articulate. Over the years, you've become less and less talkative. ”

When the concubines saw him, they all greeted him in every way. Emperor Zheng, who has been with her for many years, is even more understanding and considerate.

Only Queen Pei seems to be respectful and docile to him, but in fact she is estranged.

Queen Pei's heart tightened, and she responded softly: "The concubine has been ill for many years, intermittently, and she never gets better, but she just lingers." The emperor attaches great importance to love and righteousness, treats the concubines as always, and the concubines are sincere and fearful. In front of the emperor, there was no shame to say. ”

Literally say nothing.

Do not quarrel or be jealous, keep to yourself, and never test when to set up a reserve and who will be the reserve. Iron-hearted like him, he couldn't help but feel a trace of pity for such a gentle and silent Queen Pei.

Perhaps, because of this, he has not made up his mind for a long time, whether to establish a long or a successor.

Emperor Xuanhe glanced at Empress Pei again, and said lightly: "Others are trembling in front of me, you and I are married and married, there is no need to be like this." ”

Empress Pei respectfully should be.

Then, there was no follow-up.

Emperor Xuanhe: "......"

Emperor Xuanhe swept away a trace of depression in his heart, drank the tea, and left.

I got through it again.

Empress Pei secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

……

As soon as Emperor Xuanhe left, the Jiaofang Hall returned to its former quietness. However, in today's quiet, there is a strange atmosphere that is faintly visible.

Qing Dai finally returned to the palace to resume her life: "Qi Yu Niangniang, when the slave maid went to the Hou Mansion to spread the message, Mrs. Yong'an Hou was still at Cheng's house and had not yet returned to the house. Please be patient. ”

Empress Pei's expression was slightly cold, and she said lightly: "It's okay, the palace is waiting." ”

Qing Dai: "......"

Qing Dai touched a soft nail, and her heart was quite stupid. It's just that in front of all the palace people, she couldn't say much, so she had to endure this sulking and retreat aside.

Sheadan was silent, but her heart sank slightly.

Queen Pei, who is weak and useless, once Cheng Jinrong's whereabouts are involved, she is like a lonely she-wolf. It's heart-wrenching.

……

This is more than an hour.

Queen Pei was surprisingly patient and didn't take a nap, so she just sat in front of the window and looked at the begonia tree outside the window. It seems that I will watch it like this for a lifetime, and I will not get tired of it.

Qing Dai was distraught and frequently looked at the woad.

What if she has a very bad premonition?

Woad Lan is calm on the surface, but in fact, he is also impetuous and uneasy in his heart.

Everything was under control in the past. But since the day Cheng Jinrong left the Yong'an Hou Mansion and returned to Cheng's house, the situation has changed subtly. It's just that Queen Pei doesn't know, once she knows, there will be twists and turns......

"Queen Qi, Mrs. Yong'an Hou has entered the palace gate." A palace maid respectfully came to report.

Empress Pei's eyes swept away: "Shelan, you go to greet Mrs. Yong'anhou." ”

Woad cheered up and responded.

When she arrived at the palace gate, Xiang Lan saluted Mrs. Yong'an Hou and said in a low voice: "The queen mother is in a bad mood today, and the lady will see the mother later, so you can be cautious when you speak, so as not to annoy the mother." ”

Mrs. Yong'an Hou held her stomach for a while, and as soon as she returned to the Hou Mansion, she knew that Queen Pei had passed on the message, and she sighed in her heart.

The six princes appeared at Cheng's house. Come to think of it, Queen Pei must have also learned about Cheng Jinrong's return to Cheng's house from the mouth of the six princes. This is to come to Xingshi to ask for guilt.

Fortunately, the Pei family already had a way to deal with it.
